"I wish you didn't have to go, Annabeth."
Annabeth walked over to Luke and pulled him into a kiss. " I know, but it's only for the summer. You know, I think it'll actually be good for us."
Luke raised his eyebrows. " Oh yeah? How?"
"Being apart will just make us stronger. You know, it will intensify our feelings for each other and..."
"Annabeth, that's bullshit and you know it."
They burst out laughing. "I know it is. I'll just miss you too much."
"I'll miss you too." He leaned in for another kiss.
"My dads not coming until tomorrow. You wanna hang out when I'm finished packing?"
"Cafe, same time as always?"
A look of disappointment flashed on Annabeths face, but she quickly hid it. "Same time as always."
The next day, Piper came over to help Annabeh do some last minute packing.
"Are you excited to be spending the summer with your dad?" Piper asked, while packing Annabeth's bathing suits.
Annabeh shrugged. "I mean, I haven't seen him in two years. I don't know what it's gonna be like living with him. I said some mean things to him the last time I saw him. I just don't want it to be like last time."
"It won't be," Piper assured her.
"Piper."
"yeah?"
"I need something different."
"Something like what?"
"That's the thing. I don't know. Maybe I just need some adventure in my life."
"Uh, yeah you do. You need a break from studying."
"But senior year is coming up. If anything, I need to study more."
Piper rolled her eyes. "You're hopeless. You need to learn how to have fun this summer. Be spontaneous."
"Annabeth! You're dad is here!" Malcolm called.
Annabeth gave Piper a look that said "help".
"It'll be fine, C'mon." Piper grabbed Annabeths bags and started toting them down the stairs.
Annabeth took one last look around her room."See you in two and a half months." She muttered.
She walked to the top of the stairs and suddenly had a bad feeling. "Maybe I should stay home," she thought.
She tried to shake the feeling. Everything would be fine, right? She sighed one last time and descended the stairs.
